Mr. Ramchandra B. Patel.
74
Ex- Principle of the college whose name I forgot.
From past four days, I have had an opportunity to be part of an Exhibition that involved Futuristic Technologies. I briefed everyone from IPS, Government officials to school kids and housewives about the technology we use. This one unique visitor I will never forget, who came to our stall on day three.
He looked closely at every poster on our stall, watched the videos being displayed on screen, same as I do without wearing spectacles (Just people with poor eye sight thingy). He then, looked at me and said, "Haan batao beta, kya hain ye?" I explained everything to him. He asked me more questions in return, as much curious as a kid.
When he said thanks and was about to leave stall, I asked him if I can take his picture. He happily agreed. I asked him, which department is he from, he told me he was a Prinicpal in a college. He came to exhibition by himself. I still wonder how. I told him, if I ever grow old as much as him, he interrupted me. He said, 'I am 74', I admired the enthusiasm he possessed. I told him, "If I ever grow as much old as you are, I would definitely want to be as much curious as you are, maybe more than that." He smiled and told me he was there to explore. And he went ahead, visited every stall and kept asking questions. The oldest visitor in the exhibition I must say.

On this special day where we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday, let us remember what he fought for and what he stood for. He had a dream of a country where people treated each other as equals, everyone, no more hate or attacks against one another. It’s important that we take this idea and this lesson with us everyday as we all have dreams. We should take those dreams and make them as big and proud as the wonderful MLK did.

“It astounds me that my whole career so far I’ve been interested in what’s #below the #surface and this incredibly beautiful #creature can be just as interested in what’s #above it!!⠀

In this moment of #EyeContact I could tell it was just in a #playful , #curious mood. We stopped the #boat as he was approaching and just glided together.⠀

A moment that made me #realise we are all more #similar than we are #different ”.⠀

This afternoon I am holed up writing a #travel feature about the White #Mountains , injecting an ample amount of personal #passion (facts alone can be a bore). This morning I went for a run in this ungodly cold to further test my body’s abilities/reaction to exercising in extreme weather (I was told I have exercise intolerance and thermoregulation issues as part of my neurological saga yet offered no way to fix it, aside from “stopping,” so I am figuring this out myself). I wasn’t going to start running until February but I couldn’t resist what could be our coldest day of the year; need to collect that data! For these little things I do, I’m putting in the effort. I’ve cleared much of the bullshit to up my game across three or four pillars I hold dear. I don’t know if I will be a travel writer forever. Probably. I like it. But I will certainly be hacking my way out, through and around these neuro issues either forever, or until I’ve cured them. Maybe that’s what I was made to do; prove that all this can be fixed. MLK said, “Whatever your life’s work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.” Today I’m living up to that and it makes me happy so stop and recognize it. I hope you are doing things that make you happy, too. Even better, doing them well! For whatever reason, this selfie I risked my hand for to get the reflection of the summit in my @julboeyewearna prompted that caption. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Proud to be #meta and self aware! #norules#streamofconsciousness#crush#mlkday2019#babyitscoldoutside #❄️
